What is a hysteroscopic-assisted myomectomy?

Hysteroscopic myomectomy has been shown to be effective in controlling the very heavy abnormal bleeding caused by submucosal fibroids. Hysteroscopicassisted myomectomy involves the aid of a slender, lighted tubelike instrument. The device is inserted through the vagina, so no incision is made in this procedure.

It can be performed in an outpatient surgery center. Miniature instruments are used as part of the operation to remove fibroids (and/or uterine polyps when they are present). If you are to undergo operative hysteroscopic myomectomy, this method is used in the
removal of submucosal fibroids.
